280ZX
Father

Son

Originally I purchased the silver 280ZX as a cheap commuter in July of 2000 for $800. It did not take long before I really enjoyed driving this car. I thought if I could get 6 months out the car it would be money well spent.The 280ZX ran for a year and a half before the first big problem. I was not sure that I wanted to put a lot of money into a $800.00 car. But just for fun I checked on the price of parts to fix the car. And for about $70.00 I replaced the head gasket and the car was on the road again. In February 03 I bought 2 280ZXs for parts a 79 and another 82 for 850.00$.And just for fun I tried to get the red 82 280ZX running. And after buying a ignition module at the local junk yard for $10.00 it ran! So now we have Father and Son 82 280ZXs. While most money and time is spent on routine maintenance, I have added a rear spoiler and rear louvers. My son has changed all the interior light to red and is working on his "sound system" as I type.

This winter 03-04 has not been a good time for our Datsuns.
But we have learned some things.

Father


Fun car to drive but, not the best car in the snow!

Son


Keep your eyes on the road!

During the summer of 2004 we tried to fix a few things.


Less dents and new paint


It will never be the same but its back on the road!

The red ZX made it another year or so till the next accident then became a parts car.
The silver ZX ran untill it was sold in sept 2011. with help form the parts car.
